ADIPEC 2026 will be held from 2–5 November 2026 at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi under the patronage of Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, in his capacity as Ruler of Abu Dhabi, focusing on energy security, infrastructure, artificial intelligence and investment. The event, described as the world’s largest energy conference and exhibition, will bring together energy ministers, CEOs, technology leaders, investors and industry executives as the sector faces rising energy demand, geopolitical volatility, infrastructure constraints and the rapid expansion of AI. Abdulmunim Al Kindy, Chairman of ADIPEC 2026, said recent volatility has reaffirmed that energy security is economic stability, and that the world must invest ahead of demand, diversify supply and strengthen infrastructure, technology and capabilities.

New programmes include Energy Security & Resilience; Policy, Regulation & Governance; Upstream; Clean Power, Molecules & Carbon Management; Grids, Infrastructure & Industrial Execution; and Workforce & Skills, while existing programmes have been updated to reflect AI, Digital & Technology Innovation and Downstream, Chemicals & Industrial Value Chains. The Strategic Conference will run alongside the Technical Conference.
